Health Insurance

Students of German universities can obtain health insurance from a
statutory health insurance scheme or an alternative health insurance
scheme until the end of the 14th semester of their course of study while
they are younger than 30 years (according to 5 Section 1 No. 9 SGB V).

International
students can apply for an exemption from the statutory health insurance
scheme if they are insured by a private health insurance scheme or if
they present proof that health insurance from their home country is
valid in the Federal Republic of Germany and that it provides the same
coverage as a statutory health insurance scheme.

For students,
the monthly contributions for the statutory health and supplementary
nursing care insurance currently amount to approximately 60.00 EURO per
month.
